Avalanches can over a wide area be released, even by a single winter sport participant. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects above the tree line. Such avalanche prone locations are covered with new snow and are therefore barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. To some extent avalanches can penetrate deep layers and reach large size. Caution is to be exercised in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as on wind-loaded slopes. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible. The runout zones of large avalanches are to be treated with caution. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack and fresh avalanches serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Great caution and restraint are important. The old snowpack is faceted. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. The various wind slabs have bonded poorly with the old snowpack. Avalanches can as before be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach large size in isolated cases. steady 2026-01-14T16:00:00Z 2026-01-15T16:00:00Z 2026-01-14 DP5 DP6 2026-01-13T16:00:00Z 2026-01-13T16:00:00Z 2026-01-14T16:00:00Z false Ankogel-Hochalm Group Hafner Group Goldberg Group South Glockner Group Pasterze Zillertal Alps Northwest Glockner Group South Venediger Group South low 2200 all_day considerable 2200 all_day wind_slab 2200 NE SW NW W S N SE E all_day very_poor some 2 slab Wind slabs are to be evaluated critically. The fresh and older wind slabs can be released easily. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200 m and on steep south facing slopes above approximately 2400 m. In particular in shady places that are protected from the wind avalanches can release the weakly bonded old snow as well and reach quite a large size. Caution is to be exercised in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as in gullies and bowls. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger. Up to 30 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The strong wind has transported the new snow significantly. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly. The wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. The old snowpack is faceted. The snowpack will be generally subject to considerable local variations. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year in all altitude zones. Wind slabs are to be avoided. Gradual decrease in avalanche danger as a consequence of warming. decreasing 2026-01-14T16:00:00Z 2026-01-15T16:00:00Z 2026-01-14 DP6 DP5 2026-01-13T16:00:00Z 2026-01-13T16:00:00Z 2026-01-14T16:00:00Z false Glockturm Group Lechtal Alps East Ammergau Alps South Kauner Ridge Karwendel Mountains West Samnaun Mountains Mieming Mountains low 2000 all_day considerable 2000 all_day persistent_weak_layers 2000 NE SW NW W S N SE E all_day poor many 2 slab Weakly bonded old snow represents the main danger.

Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized.
